Hi there my guy.
I’ve had to find more of your stuff cuz I watched every YouTube video on your site there.
Loved everyone. Your content w/ Ace Freely from KISS was amazing so sad to hear him say that he is ready to go for another 5,10,15years cuz he’s got good genes. And the next year after your video he died…. We lost a lot of my heroes this year and ACE just put a cap on it. Please keep it up and you will be missed if you stop anytime soon.
Thank you for all you do it’s all appreciate... more
I sincerely appreciate the recognition of Jeff Lynne’s greatness in your review. I don’t feel you concentrated enough on Lynne’s gift of melody in his writing. All the rest of what he is would not be possible if you took that away. Every so often someone in pop music comes along whose gift of melody is obvious (McCartney, Dylan, Carole King, more recently Prince). Jeff Lynne is in that company.
Anyway, I appreciate and enjoy your your work. And by the way, all of Pink Floyd instead of ELO? Maybe... more
Three chords and the truth.
Enough said.
Incredible show from an incredible man. I happen to know him personally and he is truly the genius behind all he does. I’m a forever fan.
I already liked the videos on you tube and these podcasts add a really good alternate way to listen in, and fortunately on most you don’t loose much by only having the audio. Keep up the good work.
